Water-distribution systems least-cost pipe sizing/design is probably the most explored problem in water-distribution systems optimization. Attracted numerous studies over the last 4 decades, two main approaches were employed: decomposition in which an inner linear programming problem is solved for a fixed set of flows/heads, while the flows/heads are altered at an outer problem using a gradient or a subgradient type technique; and the employment of a general evolutionary optimization algorithm. In 1995 Loganathan and his colleagues proposed to couple these two approaches into one framework, thus overcoming the limitations of each. This study employs this framework with two modifications: (1) application of a genetic algorithm for the outer optimization search instead of simulated annealing; and (2) constraining the sought solution to the lowest cost spanning tree layout with the spanning tree chords kept at their minimum permissible pipe diameters. A comparison of the methodology to a genetic algorithm application without the refinement of using a spanning tree with minimal chord diameters was explored, showing the proposed methodology dominance. The suggested method is limited to one loading gravitational systems, and is demonstrated using a simple example application.
